TBI's can resonate as issues later on in life for anyone.

American Football players and even Rugby players have been known to get them or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) as the result of repeated mild TBIs occurring over months or years playing.

As another example, I was in a near fatal rollover accident as a child and developed partially complex seizures in the left temporal 22 years later as an adult from that incident.

Defense can't argue the facts of the case, but they're sure trying hard to invalidate the case on the grounds that the Special Counsel was "unlawfully appointed" and being paid using an "unknown budget".

Well, the whole case is unprecedented you nitwit, thus the need for a Special Counsel and using general funds of the DoJ.

Can't have your cake and eat to too, nice try.

“I thought STRIKES were supposed to be ‘unlimited’ when we were picking our jury?” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

State law, a law that's been around for over a hundred years, limits it to 10 strikes.

That's what he gets for thinking again.

Best line:

"Actually, that's not complete reporting, Olivia. I have a source that tells me it's the Wrong Every Time Floor Action Response Team – WETFART. The #WETFART team is a loud and slippery crew. Beware."

Time to brush up that resume, WFH or hybrid is the new norm.

I've been in the IT Industry for almost 30 years and have even met Michael Dell several times. He's an asshole and his company has a long long history of treating employees like shit.

So it's really not hard to believe this person took their life after giving Dell everything they could to remain employed only to be laid off.

This is just another form of delay tactics by the defense, nothing more.

The longer they drag out jury selection, the longer the trial runs, which gives them more time for everything from prepping the defense to giving the ranting monkey more time for his campaign.

Same. Both of these companies have done acquisitions over the years, all promising better prices and more jobs when the end result is poorer quality products at the same or higher price and less jobs overall.

I hope the FTC tells them to get bent.

“Tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers are already in Canada and probably Mexico waiting for orders to invade,” she wrote on January 8, 2021.

As married-in Mexican, I'm pretty sure that Chinese soldiers wouldn't last a week in Mexico without getting rolled by the cartels, then dumped in a ditch or chased home lol.

Let's not forget that it was President Eisenhower, a Republican, who directed a Republican House and Senate to pass Dr. Salk's Polio Vaccine into immediate use in 1955.

You'd think these anti-vax nutjobs would let that one side on that fact alone. People are stupid to even consider letting that crap come back and potentially paralyze children.

In my 20 years of working in the office and an additional 4 working 100% WFH, I'll throw my worthless internet opinion out there as to why: It comes down to the culture of the company.

Some companies see a real benefit from water tank conversations, face-to-face meetings, and the ability for managers to ask someone in person on a moment's notice to do things. There is also a lack of trust in the employees being able to perform correctly without physical oversight in many companies. Granted and aside from the trust issue, there is some truth to that, but can in fact be realigned with the exact same benefit by retooling communications. It's up to each company however to formulate the best course of action to remedy that and many sadly fail, resulting in RTO mandates.

Moms of Liberty: Reading "Rainbow", omg we HAVE to ban that from schools as it has a gay agenda!

Qwack jobs like those need to read the Constitution more instead of reinterpreting their Bible to fit their own agenda.

Shout out to LeVar, a true National Treasure.

I can't count the number of times l have had to wait 30 effing days to get my refund for a cancelled work flight that I paid for and couldn't get reimbursed for. Sometimes I needed it for bills, it sucked.

Welcome change indeed.

Let's see, first there was complaints on Truth Social about not being able to dismiss an unlimited number of jurors without reason for dismissal:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-gripes-he-cant-reject-unlimited-jurors-in-new-york-hush-money-trial/ar-BB1lNmzY

Then just hours ago the DA asked the Judge to hold him in contempt for poor remarks regarding potential jurors:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/da-asks-judge-to-hold-trump-in-contempt-for-disturbing-truth-social-post-attacking-prospective-jurors/ar-AA1nffCs

Then there's the mountains of previous trial evidence showing the same acts of slowing down the judicial process, which simply eludes anyone to the same conclusion I gave: It's a delay tactic.

Sounds oddly like Brownshirts authoritarian powers.

I'm so not looking forward to November's elections.

Because the IRS has continuously had its budget cut, most extensively under Trump

Regardless of all that, it still would be a victory for the integrity of the legal system and the people to see Orange Man in an orange jumper on the front page news.

"it was announced that the Ministry of Defense of Croatia had approved the transfer of 14 Mi-8 and Mi-8 MTV helicopters to Ukraine."

14 in total.

Albertsons and Kroger have been doing this everywhere and Kroger has their eye on acquiring Albertsons as a result.

If successful, a joint merger between Albertsons and Kroger would monopolize Grocery stores and they do NOT result in lower prices in any way shape or form. Proven fact (see Albertsons acquisition of VONS etc).

The government needs to get their anti-monopoly crap together and stop this madness.

Well, we already had "medical vacations" and "dental vacations" mostly to save money in another state or country. This shouldn't be surprising.

Grain a salt is right: People just don't like the taste of that crap anymore, not with so many options on the market now.

I trained my beagle to do neither bark nor howl, but she whined incessantly lol. Point is, any dog can be trained at any age not to, so it's the owners fault (most times as there are exceptions), not the dog's.

Eric and Trump Jr shiver at the thought.

What are we going to do tonight Pinky?

Forgot the spoiler: Chinese tourists.

It's about time. The Dept of Labor has been gutted over the years and hasn't had the resources to deal with this.

Trumpy Wumpy and his Oompa Loompas back in 2016[1] said it was up to the States to figure this out. Just sad it took so long
